Letters Patent No. 92,532, dated July 13,' 1869.

y IMPROVEMENT IN HATCHET,

'I'he Schedule referre to in these Letters Patentalid making part of the Bama.

rlhe present invention relates to a new and useful improvement in the construction of hatchets as anew article of manufacture, the blade orcuttiug-portiou of' 4the said hatcliet being made of sheet-steel, and the poll of cast-iron, the construction of which will be -undorsvtood from the following description.

Figure l represents a side View of hatchet.

Figure 2 is a section of the same through the line my improved Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

In this oase, the letterA represents the blade of the hatchet. The said blade is stamped out ofsheet-steel, and has one or more holes 0r slots, B, punched through its upper edge. The blade is then set in the mould, and molten iron or other metal is then poured into the said mould, which forms the poll or .head ofthe hatohet'.

It will thus be seen that the blade and poll, being securely connected by the molten metal ruiming through the hole or slot in the plate, forming a solid rivet, will produce n good and neat hatchet at a greatly reduced price.

Having thus described myinyention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-v The hatchet, 'when constructed as herein shown and described, as a new article of manufacture.
